"This restaurant just never disappoints you. We stopped here today for their lunch special. The Veggie masala was fantastic, and the Naan was hot and ready to eat. We were hungry and enjoyed all the special lunch extras like the soup. I'm recovering after a bad cold, and the soup was exactly what I needed! Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options here!"

"First timer here. The food is very delicious. I recommend the shrimp fried rice and chicken masala with #1 pan bread. It is full of flavor and can taste the different spices. However, the portions are small and price is in the expensive side. It did not fill me up."

"We arrived 10 minutes early. We sat and got our menus and water. And then we waited. Two gentlemen came in, and the greeting spoke to them, and spoke to them, etc. When he finally came to get our order, we ordered Mango Lassis and said they didn't. He'd check it out. We've got our order...more servers arrived so new diners got more attention, we've never been told whether it's Lassis, but apparently not since we don't get it. The food we got was delicious, especially the Naan. But we will not return."

"Spicy means indian spicy for Swad...which is great! Ambience is ordinary n regular but makes up with food and portion size, which are awesome. Next visit should be for lunch, cos a hearty meal such as these without an afternoon siesta to follow its not the same. Tandoori Nan was thin yet soft fish was done just right and mutton roghan josh was enjoyably spicy. Mango lassi for my teste was way too sweet.Vegetarian options: Good varietyKid-friendliness: Yes"

"Had a large group on Sunday for brunch and it seemed there was only one persons working (taking table orders, making drinks at the bar and bussing table). Took for ever to get our drinks and even more so for the food. Having said that the food was great and I have no complaints there but it seemed like it was amateur hour on the service side. Would I go back and give it another chance... Maybe. Would I recommend to a friend, not a chance."

"my waiter gave me the confidence to try several new dishes. so I tried to feed the vegetable pakora. I decided to try the mushroom bhoona and ordered my favorite saag when the escape. I love my saag level. I was in restaurants that insist that my saag contains at least one of the usual ingredients: paneer, aloo and sometimes chana, which I then painfully get out of my saag. one of my raw food cookers, originally from india, had a bio restaurant. she told me why they committed me to trembling my saag. if that happens, I'll go up and never leave the restaurant back. but in this restaurant my waiter had no problem to submit my request at the place. the vegetable pakora first arrived. I really liked it. but there were the tamarind sauce and green chili chutney that the pakora really made excellent. when my man came to a call to eat his pakora, it was cold (he hates cold food.) but my man liked this cold pakora so much, he always tried to ask me about it while he breeds them at once down he usually eats it and asks for a question. After the pakora was completed, however, he immediately announced to order the pakora again at our next visit. the mushroom bhoona and the saag came together. both my man and I were very impressed by these exotic aromes. when the rice arrived that was taken up with the bhoona, we had most bhoona and saag eaten. my man is a rice fan, so he can just sit and eat rice himself if necessary. I usually do not eat white basmati rice. wild rice, brown or black rice. but when they brought out these basmati, I had to try. it had interesting spots of seasoning in it. after a bite I sat and ate the half of the plate with the rest of my saag. I mentioned my waiter how much I liked the basmati. he explained all the preparations that go into making this special dish. it was quite impressive and he seemed very pleased to hear that I liked it so much. I hope he shared my compliment with the kitchen. I liked the way our waiter observed our food needs again and again when he came past our table. I noticed he didn't want to interrupt our dinner. but I knew if I looked at him, he would have come directly to our table if we needed something. that is the sign of a sophisticated waiter for me. a trait that I rarely see more in restaurant waitstaff. at the end of our meal our waiter offered us a free sample of the gulab jamun desserts. After he described this, I know I didn't order it alone. but we still tried. my man just yelled at me when I tasted this overly sweet dessert. he had observed my expression when I tasted him and offered me the other half of his rehearsal. it didn't come surprised when I told him that the next time we came, I'd order the gulab jamun dessert. I asked him how he knew I liked it. apparently it was the ankle in my eyes when I took my first bite that there was gone. so, now it is obvious that we already planned our return to this restaurant on our next trip to fresno. not only eating is very nice, but our waiter has made me feel that I will not forget. so it's easy to forgive the little girl that went into mine when I first sat and my man was outside on a call. they rode on an unusually large cracker that was in her hand and from a strange background she jumped in and sat on the stand for several minutes. it seemed completely unlikely for the difference between a customer and an extended family. it was so strange, it was almost cute. but that immediately tells me that this flawless crew is family owned. but what is really etched in my mind, in the last moments of this culinary experience, was the hectic attempt of the owner. our waiter was not far behind the owner who ran into our car with my mobile phone charger base. it had fallen out of my handbag in our stand. I am so grateful to this gracious owner and my waiter that he gave it back to me before we get away. I would never have been able to complete my work projects, emails and text messages without my cell charger base. the demanding waiter skills of our waiter, combined with my saag accommodation and the desperate attempt by the owner to return my cell charger base, shows me that it is not by chance that this restaurant serves such fine quality meals. this is the first time that my man and I plan our next visit in a restaurant on the APPETIZER course! So, for a high quality north indian restaurant with excellent eating and excellent service, I recommend you to make their first stop in tandoori night!"

"Food is very good, service is good as well, the ambiance is not so good. I would have expected better considering the cost of the food. It was very pricey, and everything was extra. Naan was not served with your dinner, extra. Chutneys were extra etc. I have been to many other authentic Mediterranean restaurants and paid less for much more. The website also states they have a lunch buffet and they do not."

"Good Indian food. I recommend call them directly to order delivery or preferably eat at the restaurant. Chicken Tikka and Yellow Dal very nicely done. I called them and ordered. As close as possible (in the US to get) authentic Indian food at decent prices. Owner was courteous and went out of the way to ensure we got hot food delivered and followed every possible request on spices etc. Definitely ordering again."

"Let's discuss the flavor, quality, portion sizes, and outstanding service. We’ve been revisiting our favorite Indian restaurants as our 20th wedding anniversary approaches, and our dear friends will be joining us for the celebration. We all agreed that Indian food would be a fantastic choice. After some searching, we've decided that Swagath will be the place to celebrate and enjoy incredible cuisine. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. They have switched to serving water in single-use bottles, which we find a bit puzzling, but it doesn't detract from our experience. The dishes we enjoyed were lamb vindaloo and goat Chettinad—both were absolutely perfect."

"The carryout menu has a cow symbol with an X through it next to all the vegetarian menu items that can be made vegan upon request. There are several, including the roti that can also be made vegan. The server also showed me the items on the buffet that were vegan and he even made me a dish of fried cauliflower with spicy chutney from the buffet even though I ordered off the menu. We were very pleased with the service and the flavor. Convenient location easy to access."
